Florida's scouting staff met with two of the draft's highest-ranked talents during the combine weekend.
Top prospects Viggo Bjorck and Daxon Rudolph confirmed Saturday that the Florida Panthers took them to dinner during the 2026 NHL scouting combine. The meal is a standard part of the draft evaluation process, allowing front offices to assess prospects in an informal setting ahead of the draft.
Both players rank among the combine's elite talent pool. The Panthers' outreach signals continued interest in either or both for a high draft pick, though no formal commitment or preference has been stated by the club or the prospects.
